If you keep scrolling down on the price list there is one for $2741 that is custom formulated for a particular car. I am going to Pep Boys to see if they have any in stock after work.
Zymol makes a wax thats over $7k

But that's just me.
He probably doesn't want the liability involved in removing the wheels. Plus, it probably would make the car's owner a bit nervous to see some stranger jack up his car.

If you want to hear about the dangers of using a jack just ask Bass over in the New England forum.
